Recommend Replacement Fog Light Bulbs

I am about to replace my broken fog light and I realized now would be the perfect time to upgrade/replace the bulbs in both. I know this topic has been discussed at length, but I thought I'd request recommendations for a low cost bulb which is similar wattage to the OEM bulb (no melted harnesses thank you) but offers better performance in terms of color and/or brightness. Thanks in advance.

Super Plasmas are an exact match. Try Ebay, www.optionsauto.com, or www.autobarn.com .

On a related note, does anyone know where I can find 5000K true 110 or 130W bulbs?

Thanks everyone! Looks like I'm going to get the Super Plasma H3. Just to confirm I'm getting the right one, these are the 5K 55W version?

Also, if I wanted to upgrade my high beams to match my HIDs, what bulb is considered to be the best from a price performance standpoint?

Thanks again!

Andy

To match the HIDs perfectly you need an HID kit. Bohmen is a great HID brand. But, for bulbs it's the PIAA Super Plasmas.

5k 55W is right for the fogs.

For the high beams, don't waste $50 on bulbs..you probs. won't be using them as much as the fogs. I bought my high's (Eaglite) from www.midnightmoose.com . They have great service & the bulbs match pretty good. Coupon code 15% off: JU-FLD
